their website is a list of services you can subscribe to and have ToS autotrade those recommendations for you if you choose
Thanks for the info TG, I was wondering if you could provide a list or even one newsletter or service, including the fees, that you have positive experience. The difficulty for the OP would certainly be choosing the right one and factor in the fees. For example, a newsletter could charge $1000 per year, so even with 10% return in a year, with newsletter fees and commissions, you may end up with zero gain or even losses for a 10K account.
The problem with TOS in my opinion is that they don't screen the list of services as far as I can see:
Quote:
THINKORSWIM DOES NOT REVIEW TRADE ADVISORS EXPERIENCE, CREDENTIALS, PERFORMANCE OR ANY OTHER FACTORS RELATING TO THE TRADE ADVISORY SERVICES OR QUALIFICATIONS. THINKORSWIM DOES NOT RATE, RANK OR ENDORSE ANY OF THE TRADE ADVISORY SERVICES IN THE AUTOTRADE PROGRAM
There are other autotrading services that attempt to do some performance evaluation: eg., attaincapital or collective2
I am not going to link them because I am not really advocating either or any of these services. I am just trying to point out the pitfalls of autotrading. If the OP would like to know which TOS autotrade newsletter to avoid, please PM me.
